the tentacles of the mafia's however are just adding to the pressures facing the world speeches. just two years ago there was a row of houses here. about i think about a house though from about here all the way down to the condo and those houses verano water the shoreline with going right past them so they ended up taking them out of these houses here with their on the the front were row number two and i the fact that these houses won't be here and five here. we thought the house about see years ago hoping that we would be able to retire here. but from here you could see how much sand we've lost underneath the house. because it was up to level with the cement but of course it went out into the ocean. so. the beach area was about the length of a football field and over the last two years the scart mint is underneath the houses so. the erosion on this part of the beach is much quicker than we anticipated or that is deemed to normal. globally between seventy five and ninety percent of beaches are actually undergoing some sort of retreat and that's only going to get worse. by this da

i hope you have some good ones. >> how does the mafia tie in? >> that's during prohibition. this is something, it's not a major theme in the book, i think it's a smaller theme, but the mafia is one of those things where you have this unintended consequence and you see lots of unintended consequences with policymakers but some of those were that you had, right after prohibition, you had a brand-new business because alcohol, especially with beer, it was the fifth largest business in the united states. so you have these great big portions in alcohol and right when it became legal you had a brand-new opportunity for all kinds of lawless men to be able to take advantage of a big market. it had other unintended consequences as well. you had something called the grape grower in northern california where you have people -- wine had an exception to it and you could buy syrup and allow it to turn into wine in the home. you have lots of different economic opportunities and i gave rise to organized crime. >> so after that, how do you rate capitalism? do you go into the types of capitali
